  2. 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  3. 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  4. 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard powder
  5. 1 tablespoon paprika
  6. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  7. One 6- to 7-pound bone-in prime rib
  8. 3 sprigs fresh oregano
  9. 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  10. 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  11. 3 tablespoons canola oil
  12. 1/4 cup minced garlic
  13. 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  14. 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  15. 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
  16. 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  17. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  18. 2 shallots, minced
  19. 1 stick unsalted butter
  20. 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  21. 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  22. 1 tablespoon demi-glace

Instructions

  1. For the prime rib: Heat the charcoal until hot, then carefully arrange on one side of a kettle-style grill, and place the soaked wood chips over the hot coals. Place an aluminum pan filled with some water opposite to the coals to catch any drippings. Place a wire rack on the grill. Cover the grill to allow the smoke to accumulate and preheat to about 225 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, add the granulated garlic, black pepper, salt, mustard powder, paprika and cayenne, and mix well. Rub the spice mixture all over the prime rib, then set aside. Combine the oregano, rosemary and thyme and tie together with butcher’s twine. In a large cast-iron pan set over medium-high heat, add the oil. Rub the oil all over the pan using the herb bundle, then set aside. Place the prime rib fat-side down in the pan and sear until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip over and sear the other side until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn on its end and sear for 2 minutes.
  3. Place the prime rib on the grill over the aluminum pan, with the thick end facing the coals. Place the lid on the grill. Smoke the prime rib until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours.
  4. Remove the prime rib to a baking sheet and set aside to rest.
  5. For the sauce: In a medium saute pan set over medium-high heat, add the garlic, parsley, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, salt, shallots and butter. Cook, stirring continuously, until the butter foams and the garlic turns a light golden color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the broth, Worcestershire and demi-glace. Stir to combine, and cook until the sauce reduces by one-third, remove from the heat and set aside.
  6. If the chine bone has been removed, slice the prime rib into generous 1-bone portions. Otherwise, slice off the bone and cut into generous portions, and then place on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the top, and serve.

Holy Cow – this is awesome!! The Brown Butter sauce is off the chain. I had a boneless RibEye Roast and smoked it for about 2.5 hours at 275 – 300 deg F. I’ll never go back!

I watched Guy make this on Big Bite and although I’d never made prime rib before, he made it look so good and relatively simple, that I just had to try it. Guy’s recipe is on point! I followed it to the letter and the results were outstanding! The meat was perfectly medium rare and flavorful thanks to the dry rub & the smoke and the brown butter sauce was fantastic. I used my Rec-Tec Mini smoker (highly recommended by the way) with hickory pellets and the results were 5 star. Thanks for another inspiring recipe Guy! You are the man!

Best Prime Rib we ever had and the brown butter was an amazing compliment! Smoked on Christmas Day in 4 inches of snow! So worth it!  A do over for sure!
